The forest stands tall and lush here; ancient trees reach weather-twisted arms to the sky, fighting monster-like storm clouds back with their interlacing fingers. Shadow seems to lurk everywhere you look, but it spills calmly, coolly, inspiring a sense of stealthy calm or protection rather than unease. That is, if you've forgotten what kind of creature might be stalking just out of sight...Abendrot is a land cradled by the dark woods on all sides; in the center, some of the larger trees stay behind to reveal a small plateau - a citadel where this pack can gather and defend itself from invaders. There are, of course, softer sides to the land. Clearings here and there allow the sun to throw down its rays in incongruously resplendent gold showers. Ignore the lingering scents of blood spattered here and there along the borders: those do not concern you. The river on one edge of the territory is playful enough when it hasn't been gorged by violent rain. You can choose to note the ragged claw marks raked down tree trunks and the forest floor as friendly "Home Sweet Home" signs, if you wish.

All who treasure loyalty, order, victory, and the occasional indulgence of raw visceral pleasure are welcome, once they've been approved by the ever-watchful eyes of Abendrot's Alpha. But keep one thing in mind: no matter what your motive, this is not a fool's Paradise. This is the land of soldiers, assassins, and spies. This is ABENDROT.

Make up your mind quickly and prepare to prove your worth. You wouldn't want to add to those blood spatters, would you...?

Lenore
the sweet
hath gone before
It seems she does not exactly like my comment about flying, and her reaction is the first thing in my life that brings a frown to my features. I.. I do not like that look of disappointment she gives me, and much as I had done before I try and lean up to lick at her jaw. But this time, I am met with a 'bop' on my nose by one of her alabaster paws. The movement though is all to fast for me, so in truth I don't know what actually hits my nose but I know it disorientates me and that at the same moment she's moving off of me I am overtaken by a sneezing fit. Instead of bouncing up to my feet as I normally would have, I am rolling to and fro and sneezes wreck through me and at last my body falls still and I am splayed all about. Petite paws wave up at the sky above me, as I am distracted by clouds and I even almost forget the wolf just beside me, that is until she speaks again and I snap my attention back on her. Immediately do I roll to my perky paws, toxic green eyes eager for her own with an unexpected want for her approval.

I cannot explain these feelings, much the same as I cannot explain the way I liked her bigger body on top of mine, but I accept it for what it is and that is that. I wait, then, for the words to register in my brain and at last they do; she asked me my name and where I came from. I cannot tell her the latter, but I tell her why I cannot all the same. "I am Lenore, and I haven't a home anymore." My slender and feminine skull nods at the truth and confirmation of my words, even as I continue speaking and more words tumble quickly past my lips. "I do not know of my past, all I know is I was an outcast." I do not remember my birthplace, or my siblings, or anything having to do with any of that. What I do remember, however, is the strange looks I have always gotten and the way that wolves seem to always avoid me. I find myself akin to a plague, and as my simple mind goes I find absolutely nothing wrong in that. I have enjoyed my isolation, loved it, in fact, and until I met her I had not wanted to be near another. But now, under the scrutiny of her mismatched gaze I am wiggly and enthralled and even trembling. I don't know the feeling I have, but I like it and that's enough for me.

I think I have told her enough, so that when she asks if I have eaten I have two words for her. And they are quite loud. "I'm STARVING." My white tail wags furiously behind me as I wait and stare at her, my petite jaw agape with my excitement and eagerness at the prospect of her giving me food. Truly I must have stumbled upon a dream land, for first I am Queen of the Hill and now I am She Who Survives the Bandit and then She Who Dines with the Bandit. Tilting my head to the side in sublime innocence, innate curiosity laces my tones in my last sentence to her. "What might it be that's in need of our carving?"
